Don’t look now, but the Brooklyn Nets are on a three-game win streak.
Brooklyn took down the Houston Rockets on Tuesday, 118-96, for the new-look Nets’ third straight win. The Nets now sit 37-28 on the season and are comfortably ahead — by 2.5 games — over the Miami Heat for the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference and only a game behind the Knicks for the fifth with 17 games to go. Brooklyn’s three-game win streak is tied for the longest streak in their conference (the Philadelphia 76ers have always won three consecutive games).
